lol so i just searched to make sure nobody else had already done this and all i found was last year's thread. which, you guessed it, was started by erm me!!!

whatever, the apprentice is brilliant, as always.

share your thoughts.

here are mine:

i love raef and alex. i like lucinda cos she has lovely clothes and i feel sorry for her. although i hate that voice she puts on in the boardroom?

jenny is the devil incarnate "I AM SPEAKING NOW I AM SPEAKING NOW!" i want to strangle her with one of those fugly neckties

who's going to win? not any of the girls, going on last night's shambles! at the moment, i think that little bloke who was on about how he was in the army and alex are the frontrunners.

Ahhh, I love Raef too. He's kind of hot? In a strange, I don't know why I find you attractive kind of way.

Jenny is a cunt. With the BIGGEST CHIN I EVER DID SEE.

Lucinda needs to get a grip and stop talking in that soft, pathetic, walk all over me I'm a sap voice.

The girl who went shouldn't have.

The guy who keeps banging on about the army makes me laff.

i just repped you my sort-of-none connection to raef

i dont think any of the girls will win this time because they're too busy fighting at the moment. i agree with whoever said alex and the army guy, they seem the strongest, raef is too posh for alan

agree, agree, agree. i kept my "IS raef fit?" thoughts very firmly IN my head as i was watching. i'm going to give it a few more weeks and see if anyone else confesses before i think about it. haha. i bet half the female population all crack at once at around week 4

i laughed myself stupid at the 'account manager hotline'-thing! "hello girls, just calling to check on my pants?". and ASKING for tips?! cringe. and what was really stupid was that if they hadn't started scrounging like that, they could have escaped before people started counting their laundry and realising bits were missing!

i also liked that asian lass who tried to stand up to jenny when she was tearing strips off lucinda in the car. for sheer bravery. as far as i could see, jenny's one beef was that lucinda had folded a napkin instead of shovelling it into a bag. and that girl who got sacked, when jenny was like "she's a liar, she's a manipulator" - WHAT?! she should have given her two slaps.

haha! that's an ace claim to fame, you shouldn't feel geeky! i would probably have had t-shirts printed up by now

OMG JENNY'S CHIN

yeah, i agree with the general consensus that she is a complete knob.

the girls' laundry was a complete shambles. i can't believe they charged that guy something stupid like a tenner to wash all his stuff and he was trying desperately to hint that they should charge more, without actually saying it, and they just weren't getting it. haha.

"so you'll really do all this for ten quid?"
"yeah"
"all this stuff? all these, and these, and these?"
"yeah"
"so that's ten quid altogether, not ten quid for each thing?"
"yeah"
"fair enough"

hahaha.

'don't start telling me you're just like me cause no-one's like me, im unique'

i agree with the Raef thing - what the hell is it about him?

I think it might be his strange hair and endearingly large mouth?

Also, I'm a sucker for posh accents.

and his big bushy eyebrows

I know Michael. I cringed a lot in the first episode. He's actually a really nice guy though. Promise. I'm glad he stuck with the loser geeks though in the first episode. Oh and I got really mad at how everyone was being a poo head about him selling off the fish for £50. It was that or nothing.

this thread needs bumping.

because i can't believe michael is still hanging on in there!

also - raef outside the boardroom going "we are a team, when we go back in i'm not going to lower myself by arguing and trying to place the blame on all of you, we're better than that"
then two minutes later "IT WAS CLAIRE'S FAULT"

haha

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo. Raef! WHY SURALLUN WHYYYYYY?

No. No. NO! How could Sir Alan have got rid of Raef? (As well as being ridiculously beautiful) he was one of the most competent people on there. He probably identifies with slimy little Michael more. But Michael's good for sheer hilarity, taking absolutely no responsibility for what went wrong. Especially in tonights episode
& I'm backing Lucinda for the win, but it'll probably be someone lame like Alex or Michael

i did the same course at the same uni as raef but got a better mark

haha! I'm SOOOO shocked Raef is gone. I thought for sure he was gonna win! Michael, Michael, Michael. Funny guy. I've so much shit to cuss him about when I see the fool next.
I HATE Alex and don't see the point in Helene at all.

How could they get rid of Raef,he was such an air-head Michael is a tosser,loves the sound of his own voice,did you see the wedding dress one?What a bully!!I would have told him where to get off in no uncertain terms,prick!!Lucinda reminds me of a primary school teacher,trying to hold it together but shovelling prozac behind the bookcase!Alex is a bore,and i don`t care who wins now Raef has gone.

well!! doesn't everything change fast?! what the heck was with suralan? sometimes i think, "yeah, okay, you might be old and beardy-weirdy but you are 'drop-dead shrewd'" - like the way he could see sara was gettin picked on...but what was going through his head last night?! now i'm back to thinking he's a doddery old sod and wondering if i have ever, ever, EVER seen a single piece of amstrad equipment in my whole life.

i love lee!!!! i'm glad no-one loses their patience with him lol but come onnnnn. he can hardly even READ! i seriously couldn't watch his pitch to those ad men. he's adorable but...no. let's get serious now! i hate alex. what a toad. lucinda's "naughty, naughty, naughty!" speech was terrific and long-overdue. if they'd listened to lucinda, they would have won for REAL and not just by default. HOW AWKWARD DO YOU THINK THAT SHOPPING SPREE WAS?!! i think i would have faked a headache! CRINGE. but the lovely lucinda wasn't the only one being decent and honest last night. RAEF!!! wherefore art thou?! i could not BELIEVE it. okay, okay, he went off on one and lost sight of the task...but this was a one-off, not the deserved end-of-the-line [step up, alex, MICHAEL, lee, helene...]. raef is so good with people, and his team's pitch was aprox. 10000000000000000x better than alex's. i could hardly bear to watch as poor lee shuffled and stumbled his way through that baffling, spiralling rant. and their product and advert were hideous - there was something really naff and 'kazakhstan' about them! i thought raef was a dead-cert for the final and what i hate is that he went because he was unwilling to skew the truth, stab his teammates in the back, try to equivocate suralan...michael truly is a RAT. i felt actual, physical disgust for him last night! if i ever see him, i swear to god, i'm not going to be able to stop myself from battering him with my handbag/golf umbrella/breeze block. what a weasel. anywho, i hope this miscarriage of justice signals the start of some glorious ascent into public life for raef!

ps: wasn't claire good?! i loathed her when she was bullying that poor sweaty soldier but now i think she's really likeable and funny (like when she and her shit acting ruined those roleplays to try and get cheap rugs in marrakech!). and as soon as she saw her team's ad, she even said "i can see suralan going where the bloody hell's this, where the bloody hell's that?". and her off-the-cuff intro for the ad men was brilliant. i want lucinda and claire in the final now!

aww i LOVE claire now, she annoyed the bejaysus out of me for the first few weeks but she's calmed down a bit and i think she's one of the best ones there. ehhhh i'm not so sure about lucinda, i still keep remembering the task a few weeks ago (the photography one maybe?) when ALL she did the WHOLE WAY THROUGH was moan and cry about how she didnt know how to work the computer programme and how whoever was in charge (helene?) was a total dick for making her do it. yeah maybe she shouldn't have been given that job, and i don't blame her for having a bit of a whinge, but she was going ON AND ON for the whole episode! surely as a supposed professional person she would have tried to make the best of it so they could make some money? she just ended up looking like a five year old who thinks everyone else's toys are better than hers. wow that was a rant! heh.

michael makes me want to do killings. i seriously do not get how he is still there! after the whole kosher thing as well! and the way he says one thing and then two minutes later realises it's not what sir alan wants to hear and says the COMPLETE OPPOSITE and thinks no one will notice! aaaaaarghgkfngk!
